Re: SOTD Wednesday 3rd October, 2012

Have I told you about the scent of jasmine? Have I spoken about the smell of the sea? The earth is scented. And I perfume myself to enhance what I am. That's why I can not wear a perfume that bothers me. Perfuming is an instinctive wisdom. And like all art, it requires some knowledge of yourself..."

I'm in a few luscious spritzes of vintage-80s Flora Danica for ballet. Y'all have a great day!

Poor sick kewart - hope you feel better soon!

That's a great pic Larimar - fun!

((Jon)) - huggin' you for always being so sweet.

Science is not only compatible with spirituality, it is a profound source of spirituality. When we recognize our place in an immensity of light-years and in the passage of ages, when we grasp the intricacy, beauty, and subtlety of life, then that soaring feeling, that sense of elation and humility combined, is surely spiritual...Carl Sagan

Aww, Kewart and Jon, and anyone else hampered, do take care. Let Lilybelle be your role model.

I'm going to bed early tonight, having taken an allergy pill which will knock me out in a while, but in the meantime I have my laptop, my dog, the TV clicker, and a big pile of books. If I didn't feel like Sneezy, I'd be perfectly content with this set up. Nightie night!

Last night I sprayed Jicky on the back of my hands at bedtime, while JM Dark Amber and Ginger Lily lingered on my wrists. In the early-morning hours I stirred and sensed their harmonious play. So delghtful. I'd never intentionally layered Jicky (except with English lavender dusting powder) because, well, why would you even think of such heresy? -- but having this week encountered how nicely Jicky interplays with 24 Faubourg and DA&GL, I'm curious where this might lead.

Jicky solo ... for now.

fragranceman88, I too am working—no, sniffing—my way through samples sent by several lovely basenote-ists, while listening to some CDs I need to catch up on, notably Tchaikovsky's enchanting Serenade for Strings.
